Top of the Pops, 1st December 2022

Taylor Swift is making a five-week run at the top of the chart look very effortless. At this point her biggest challenger might be Mariah Carey, who glides in at number 18 this week, or even Baddiel and Skinner if results go their way. They are in the From The Vault slot for now but might be tempted to appear in person if they climb higher?

In more normal news we have a very tempting selection of hits from the lower half of the top 40, including a welcome return for friend of the show RAYE and some interesting first appearances.
